The bout serves as the co-feature for the recently announced “Strikeforce Challengers VI: Prangley vs. Amoussou” event, which takes place at the San Jose Civic Auditorium in San Jose, Calif., and airs on Showtime.

Kaufman brings an undefeated record to the cage, and eight of her 10 wins have come via TKO. The 24-year-old Canadian had a banner year in 2009 after defeating Shayna Baszler and Miesha Tate under the Strikeforce banner while also dispatching of Sarah Schneider in a Palace Fighting Championships event.

The three wins were enough to earn Kaufman a nomination as the 2009 Fighters Only Female Fighter of the Year.

Meanwhile, Hashi fought just once in 2009, but she currently carries an eight-fight win streak. Hashi, who has earned four of her career wins by submission while working the full time on her remaining eight victories, has dropped just one bout since turning pro in 2004.

While Strikeforce officials weren’t immediately available for comment on the matter, Coker recently suggested to Sherdog.com that the bout would have title implications.

Strikeforce’s only other current female champion is Brazilian slugger Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos, who holds the title in the 145-pound division.

Santos puts her title on the line against top challenger Marloes Coenen at the Jan. 30 event, “Strikeforce: Miami.”
